UNSPSC 51242104 Phenylephrine/pyrilamine is a Commodity code for a specific pharmaceutical combination product — a decongestant and antihistamine formulation — that state and local governments procure for use in public health clinics, correctional facilities, emergency response programs, and institutional healthcare settings. The code captures a narrow product line rather than a broad service category, and procurement activity centers on bulk purchasing of this fixed-dose medication for stock and distribution.

No recent state and local contract opportunities are present in the available records for this code. The absence of posted solicitations does not necessarily signal low demand; phenylephrine/pyrilamine products are commonly purchased through existing state pharmaceutical contracts, group purchasing organization agreements, and standing orders that may not generate individual RFP or IFB notices. Firms pursuing this commodity should focus on establishing relationships with state health departments, state purchasing offices overseeing pharmaceutical cooperative agreements, and institutional buyers (corrections, public health clinics, emergency management agencies) rather than tracking formal solicitations. Pricing, product compliance with state formulary requirements, and ability to supply on short notice typically drive purchasing decisions in this category.
